Williams Financial Group initiates coverage on Pacific Drilling S.A. (NYSE: PACD) with a Hold. PT $11.00.

Analyst, Matt Beeby, said, "Despite leading edge technology and equipment, PACD’s desire for term work to secure rig financing could preclude them from getting leading edge dayrates. Still, the company has a solid asset portfolio mix with $2.1 billion backlog and three uncontracted newbuilds coming to the market in the next two years. PACD is a pure-play driller with a very capable and modern fleet, and we believe a premium valuation is warranted, but even at 9x EV/EBITDA, shares are fairly valued without incremental new contract information."
